TAKA™ Healthy Energy - What Are The Ingredients In TAKA?

100 years ago, most food was real, raw and pure. Today, GMOs, additives, fillers, chemicals and artificial colors and flavors are the norm. To increase shelf life and increase profits, many manufacturers have replaced healthy, natural ingredients with unhealthy fillers, over-processed ingredients and refined sugar. The result is a huge decrease in health and an increase in obesity. The Center For Disease Control reports that obesity affects 39.8 percent of adults in the US as of 2016.¹

A lack of exercise can also have huge consequences for overall health, wellness and longevity. John Hopkins University² reports that a lack of physical activity puts individuals at a higher risk for all kinds of health problems.

When diet is poor, exercise is lacking and environmental stress factors are all around us, we need a healthy, natural solution.

Aloe Vera polysaccharides and polysaccharides from Fucoidan are essential nutrients to support t-lymphocyte production. These specialized polysaccharide molecules interact with “receptor” substances that are embedded into the outer membrane of our immune system cells. The result is that the immune system cells are galvanized into action. In particular, the class of cells known as “phagocytes” increases its activities by which they attack and engulf bacteria, waste products and debris. This increased scavenging activity cleanses and protects the body from invading bacteria and viruses.³

ALOE VERA has been used in traditional herbal medicine for many years and in medical journals like Immunopharmacology and Immunotoxicology have found evidence of its positive immunomodulatory (immune response) properties, including defending against pathogens.⁴

To break it down, the polysaccharides found in Fucoidan and Aloe Vera help your body cleanse and attack bacteria. This protects the body from invading bacteria and viruses.

Blueberries and Turmeric are powerful, natural solutions to fueling your body and supporting a healthy immune system.

The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry reports that berries including Blueberry have been widely and repeatedly found to have health benefits in terms of performance and disease prevention.⁵ Blueberries contain flavonoids—a type of antioxidant that can help reduce damage to cells and boost your immune system. In addition, Blueberries have plenty of vitamins, including vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, dietary fiber and manganese. All are vitamins and superfoods that help your body support a healthy immune system!

Turmeric is another superfood with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Curcumin, the active ingredient in Turmeric, is antiviral and antifungal. Turmeric is a superhero that supports anti-oxidant activity and anti-inflammatory activity. A recent study found that curcumin has been shown in the last two decades to be a potent immunomodulatory agent that can modulate the activation of T cells, B cells, macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer cells, and dendritic cells.⁶

TAKA™/s combination of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants,herbs and botanical superfoods support healthy cognitive function. Recent research proves a direct link between healthy nutrients and brain function, which enhances cognitive ability.⁷

● Hibiscus: Not only does Hibiscus give TAKA™ its delicious flavor, it also supports a healthy immune system and gut health.

● Blueberries: Blueberries contain natural fiber, potassium folate, vitamin C, vitamin B6 and phytonutrients. All of these nutrients help support mental clarity, brain functionality and health, as well as support a healthy immune system.

● Aloe vera: Often referred to as nature’s miracle plant. Aloe Vera contains hundreds of micronutrients that bolster the immune system.

● Rhodiola Rosea: A daptogens have been used and known to improve health for thousands of years. Rhodiola Rosea is a powerful adaptogen that combats the effects of stress and supports overall health.

● Guarana seed: This beautiful berry from Brazil is packed with natural energy known as guaranine. It delivers sustainable and healthy energy throughout the day.

● Ionic Minerals: These micronutrients promote healthy cellular connectivity and balance. Ionic Minerals enhance the body’s “operating system.”. They keep your bones, muscles, heart, and brain all working properly!

● Fucoidan: Fucoidan is a form of brown algae that is rich in nutrients called polysaccharides. Fucoidan supports a healthy immune system and healthy metabolic processes in your body.

● Chromium: This is a crucial trace mineral that supports healthy and balanced glucose metabolism. Chromium also supports protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, helping with gut health and digestion!

● Vitamin A - 100%: Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in many foods. Vitamin A is important for normal vision, the immune system, and reproduction. Vitamin A also helps support the heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs work properly.⁹

● Vitamin C - 100%: Vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin. Vitamin C is necessary for supporting healthy body tissues. It’s also involved in many natural body functions like formation of collagen, absorption of iron, and supporting a healthy immune system.¹⁰

● Thiamin - 80%: Thiamin (or thiamine) is one of the water-soluble B vitamins. It is also known as vitamin B1. This vitamin plays a critical role in energy metabolism and, therefore, in the growth, development, and function of cells.¹¹

● Riboflavin - 80%: Riboflavin (also known as vitamin B2) is one of the B vitamins, which are all water soluble. Riboflavin is an essential component of two major coenzymes, flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). These coenzymes play major roles in energy production; cellular function, growth, and development; and the metabolism of fats, drugs, and steroids. The conversion of the amino acid tryptophan to niacin (sometimes referred to as vitamin B3) requires FAD. Similarly, the conversion of vitamin B6 to the coenzyme pyridoxal 5’-phosphate needs FMN. In addition, riboflavin helps maintain normal levels of homocysteine, an amino acid in the blood.¹²

● Niacin - 50%: Niacin (also known as vitamin B3) is one of the water-soluble B vitamins. Niacin is a B vitamin that's made and used by your body to turn food into energy. It helps keep your nervous system, digestive system and skin healthy.¹³

● Vitamin B6 - 450%: Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that supports healthy neurotransmissions as well as healthy metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. In particular, Pyridoxal 5’ phosphate is the active coenzyme form of vitamin B6.¹⁴

● Vitamin B12 - 900%: Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that is essential for the production of red blood cells and for DNA function. B12 also supports healthy glucose metabolism. Methylcobalamin, in particular, is the important form of B12 for healthy metabolic processes.¹⁵

● Potassium - 14%: Potassium, the most abundant intracellular cation, is an essential nutrient. Potassium is present in all body tissues and is required for normal cell function because of its role in maintaining intracellular fluid volume and transmembrane electrochemical gradients. Potassium has a strong relationship with sodium, the main regulator of extracellular fluid volume, including plasma volume. Due to excess sodium in most processed foods, most people have too much sodium in their body and not enough potassium in their body.¹⁶ The potassiuminTAKA™ helps to restore the vital osmotic balance between sodium and potassium.

• A recent study found on PubMed discusses how Turmeric works in the human body to support good health. Treatment based on traditional and natural medicines is increasing in many parts of the world. This study supports the effect of Turmeric (Circuma Longa) in a broad range of improvement and modulation of physiological and biochemical processes. ¹⁷

• The Journal of Evidence-Based Integrative Medicine did a study with Turmeric and found that participants’ gut microbiota was altered by Turmeric. Improving gut health promotes digestion and a host of health benefits.¹⁸ In addition to aiding the digestive system, studies by peer-reviewed journal FOODS reports that Turmeric supports the management of oxidative stress, metabolic syndrome and other key health factors. The same study found that it can help manage exercise-induced inflammation and muscle soreness, thus enhancing recovery.¹⁹

• The Journal of Nutrition has published the results of clinical trials that have shown that HIBISCUS can support healthy blood pressure levels and can have a positive effect on cholesterol levels.²⁰ Another study reported on by the Food & Function journal gave 36 overweight participants either hibiscus extract or a placebo. After 12 weeks, those with the hibiscus extract had reduced body weight, body fat, body mass index and hip to waist ratio.²¹
